I met him mate, silver 160? and a blue clio, one of my pals had met him through the elise forum. His elise was great spitting flames on the overrun :smiley:

Yeah, if it was Simon, this is the weapon below.

How was the car this time out? Did you make any tweaks or changes?

yep, thats the one :happy2:

the car was pretty good again, I softened the front ARB as you suggested and it did make a difference to the understeer especially through church. In the damp conditions in the morning there wasn't much that came past :smiley:, but I deffo need some brakes if this trackday bug bites any harder. Suprised a few with the grunt of the stg 2+ S3 :laugh:

you need some R8 calipers in your life.

The fornt ARB on soft is definitely the best way, i trialed all the settings possible onthem at the ring, and front soft, rear stiff was without dobt the best.  Still was considering an even stiffer rear bar though
